I am a night person - really... a very very good one too. If I didn't have to go to bed, I wouldn't. I'd reverse my days. The worst part of this habit is the inability to get anything done. So, as I blog here, I should be going to bed.
I've spent the day working in my art studio. Trying to FIND it... I have just enough space to paint a few things, journal and go from there.
I am working on a new painting. It's huge! I don't know why I chose to use the largest canvas I owned to start my first painting in years... Last year I created this enormous purple tree. I like working on it but I hated the end result. It just always felt undone to me. SO, I decided to get rid of the annoyance and just paint over everything in black. Now I have this huge (well, not THAT huge - it's 3'x3') black canvas. The big bugger of it all...what to put on this big black canvas, then it hit me. My Daisy dog just came into the studio one day and looked at me with her big smile - that's what going onto the canvas. I just have to find the right smile from her to work from.
That's what I'm doin'. Life is getting better. I look forward to finishing this new painting. If it scares me too much, I just might do a small version and let that big black canvas stare at me for another month.
